when i entered my name, here is what was created for me:

Your Public Radio Name is:

Cantara del Barco-Wright

it has a nice ring to it, and i’m kind of liking it.

“i only got interested in radio once,

i talked my way into an internship at npr’s headquarters in washington, d.c. in 1978,

having never heard the network on the air.”

 we lie around

on a rainy afternoon

listening to the radio

to hear

one of us

a first-time storyteller on npr

as she shares with the nation

her bittersweet tale

there are 11 people of all ages

4 dogs of all shapes

with all

the food, drinks, games

and

good cheer

we could possibly need

and no timeline or agenda

on this long lazy weekend

all tucked in together

in 1 cozy house

on 1 pretty lake

and all that

equals

1 huge level of comfort.

—-

it is one of the blessings of old friends

that you can afford to be stupid with them.
